Tired but happy!

Been to Worthing, unpacked the van at Worthing, Set up the show at Worthing.....did the show at Worthing....taught a class at Worthing, re-packed the van at Worthing and drove home from Worthing and fell into my bed...after I watched X Factor of course!!

We are always made to feel so welcome at Worthing, it's a great little venue and I get to have the most humungous stand at this venue....it's great. Mark took a couple of piccies for me before the show opened, mainly because I wanted a picture of my new whizzy metal L.B.Crafts sign. Have been thinking about doing a metal one for some time but you know how it is, something more important always crops up, so I've been doing a little bit each night until it was finished. Actually, I've now decided that it's not finished at all, I'm going to add a couple more strips of faux rivets down the edges and may add a touch of colour...undecided about what colour, if indeed I do colour it at all.....I think I need to stop waffling!

Anyway, the show turned out great.....really pleased, met some great people, previous customers as well as many new ones. Did a great little class, it was just a taster of TSS and a little folder decorated with PaperArtsy stamps. A couple of the Craft Stamper design team were on my class, both Helen Chilton and Jo Capper-Sandon, that was fun as those guys had not met each other before. If my sample was not still packed in the van, there would be a picture of it here but that's a lot of boxes to shift on a Sunday morning....it will have to wait!!

We are starting to think about Ally Pally now which is only two weeks away...yikes!!! I've got a couple of great specials offer type things up my sleeve for the early birds at the show. All I can reveal at the moment is that one will be a B Line offer and the other will be PaperArtsy. You'll have to keep checking back to find out what it is!

Okay, so know I'm off to do the food shopping....there's nothing in my fridge and all the family are coming for Sunday lunch, including my two favourite little people Ronnie and Millie. Millie has just started walking and it just melts your heart to see the grin on her face, it's been a long time coming, she's 17 months now but she's finally cracked it!!!

Glad you got back home safely. I collapsed indoors around 7 and made myself cook (I was starving, hadn;t really eaten all day) before I sat down as I knew I wouldn't get up again!! It was good to see you - I made a version of the tag you did for me once I got my "second wind" around 10!!!! See you at the Pally.

Hi Lin.I was running the Crafter's Companion stand yesterday and had a lovely day. There was a really good atmosphere in the room. Would have loved to come & shop with you, but was too busy all day! Shouldn't complain about that, but I always manage to find some goodies on your shelves....!!Lou Thompson

I understand now how you feel with your two little darlings.There's not a feeling like it. Hope to see you sometime.
